: This has to be THE BEST Needler replica that I have ever seen. I've been
: following this build for a long time, watching it from beginning to end
: and the results are simply amazing. The attention to detail is simply
: astounding, and from what I've read and and seen, it is built to scale
: (surely earning the Loftus award).

: Check out this time lapse video showing it go from prototype, to master, to
: molding, to finished casting.
